Pills, Thrills & Bellyaches
Jul. 26th, 2005 03:08 pmRecovering... slowly...
Went to the movies last night, with high hopes of seeing Sin City, but ended up seeing House Of Wax... In case you’re wondering, but I doubt you are – wait ‘til it’s a $1 weekly at the DVD store. Actually, it wasn't that bad... but having seen 3 of the 'Scream' movies, it was all too easy to mentally tick the boxes of all the horror movie 'rules' that Paris Hilton et al broke as they were (as usual) picked off one by one. High point - the melting of the house... I know I should say that Paris getting skewered was the high point, but, honestly, none of the cast could act & she wasn't the most annoying character. Low point - no 3D & no Vincent Price.
In bed by 10.30pm, with high hopes of a good night’s sleep to recharge the batteries. Woke up at 2.30am with my right knee doing its swelling & throbbing trick – as it does every few months, since a rather nasty car crash 8 years ago. Usual remedy – some anti-inflammatory tablets & wait for it to settle. Trouble was... by this time I was completely awake & stayed that way ‘til some time after 5am. Note to self - Medical authorities recommend that anti-inflammatories should be taken with food or milk. Especially if you take 3 of them. Apparently they're not kind to the stomach lining... I know all this, but wasn't thinking about it in the wee, small hours. I did remember it not long afterwards, as the stomach pains kicked in.
At least it's not Monday...
